Family Medicine
Family medicine is a specialty that focuses on the comprehensive healthcare of people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. Family physicians are qualified to diagnose and treat most diseases, and they provide preventive care and counseling to help patients stay healthy.
The Family Medicine Department at RMI was established in March 2014. It has two main purposes:
Teaching: The department provides undergraduate teaching to all professional students, including college teaching and hospital-based rotations (both rural and urban).
Clinical care: The department has a screening clinic for the general population and panel clients. The clinic offers screening packages that are designed as per international guidelines and are age- and gender-specific.
In addition to these clinical services, the Family Medicine Department also provides 100 hours of undergraduate teaching in the Rehman Medical College and Rehman Medical Institute (hospital rotations).
